<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">The National Instruments LabVIEW (and Multisim) Academic Volume License we had (installation allowed for up to 3000 licenses, 1000 licenses allowed to be used simultaneously)
at 23,716 euros/year will cost 56,265 euros/year if we renew it for next year. A check on the use showed that last year licenses were installed on about 350 computers. If we would take 150 LV Teaching (allowed for teaching purposes only), 250 LV Teaching &
Research and 25 Multisim licenses it would still add up to 52,225 euros/year. We want to reduce this amount substantially.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">The simplest way would be is to only get a limited number of LV Teaching & Research AVL licenses and to build executables of programs to run on various computers where needed
rather than to install the LabVIEW Development System on each and every computer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">You receive this message because according to NI you activated a license on one or several computers either last year (or maintained an active license on one or several
computers activated earlier).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">The price of a LabVIEW Teaching/Research AVL license is 310 euros (excluding 21% tax). We want to place one order because of the discount offered: 20% for 10-24 licenses,
30% for 25-99 licenses and 40% for 100-199 licenses. The number of computers you can install LabVIEW on is 3 times the number of licenses you get but you can only use a license one at the time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
